Godfrey Keppel Papillon (24 September 1867 – 14 August 1942) was an English cricketer. Papillon was a right-handed batsman.

The son of Philip Oxendon Papillon and Emily Caroline Garnier, Papillon was born at Lexden Manor at Lexden, Essex.[1] Papillon appeared once in first-class cricket when he was selected to represent the Gentlemen in the Gentlemen v Players fixture of 1892 at the Central Recreation Ground, Hastings.[2] In a match which ended as a draw, Papillon batted once in the Gentlemen's first-innings, scoring 10 runs before he was dismissed by William Attewell.[3] He later played minor counties cricket for Northamptonshire, debuting for the county in the 1901 Minor Counties Championship against Hertfordshire.[4] He played minor counties cricket for Northamptonshire until 1903, making twenty further appearances in the Minor Counties Championship.[4]

He married Jessie Winifred Wilson Paton in 1899.[1] He died at Hexham, Northumberland on 14 August 1942. Several of his relatives were also first-class cricketers.
